Vehicle safety recall details from the Department of Transportation.

Description

Detailed recall information for NHTSA ID 85E012000 by Firestone Steel Prod. Co.. Includes 125 affected units, WHEELS:DISC:SPIDER, component: WHEELS, and more from the Department of Transportation.

Defect Summary

Discs which had previously been stamped with part number 27125 for use with wheels having that part number were welded to rims for wheels having part number 27123. The discs used in both wheel assemblies are identical, the resulting part therefore is structurally correct. However, the 27126 wheel uses a 20x7.0 cr 5 degree beadseat rim and the 27123 wheel uses a 20x6.5 5 degree beadseat rim. A different size tire is used with each of these rims. consequence of defect: it would be possible to assemble an improper tire/wheel combination. Results of this could be overheating and/or tire contact where used as duals. If this occurs the tire may fail and loss of control may be experienced.

Corrective Action

Replacement of wheels with incorrect stamping will be made at no cost to the consumer.
